How much to rebuild chimney stacks?

Hi
I have very big problems going on at the moment, which I would like to discuss later (long story). In the meantime, are there any builders on here who could give me a rough figure for putting up scaffolding on the front of a large detached house, and removing two chimney stacks' then rebuilding them and putting render on them?
Also, how many days work would that take, approximately?
It is a big house on the London/Surrey borders, built in 1904, and although a new roof was fitted 12 years ago, the chimneys stacks, which are quite high were left alone, so they're the original ones built in 1904.
Would anyone have a rough idea of cost of job?
Many thanks in advance

we're in the north with a 1870s house and have been quoted £1,000-£1,500 for one chimney stack.0

I had a similar quote for a stack (slightly ornate, but not overly so) in the south."Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." William Morris0

Thank you all for your replies. I will also check those links you gave me G-M.
Can I ask if the prices you've been quoted includes scaffolding, and also, how many dats it took to remove the old chimney stack and rebuild a new one?
Many thanks again:)0 -
I'd be wary about giving such personal info to a forum of strangers0

In that area, they will take your first-born daughter and a pound of flesh.
More seriously, there is a sub-board further down which deals with quotes. I would guess £2-3k depending on complexity of work, but that's a total guess.0
